Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

I found that out a long time ago...

When some of my recordings have slightly distorted and or saturated sounds for no apparent reason. I thought the tape was damaged or something until I lowered the recording input signal to a more acceptable level and voila everything snapped into place.

However, some of the generic pancake tapes that I bought though I don't know who manufactured them probably from China seems to work well on higher recording level devoid of distortion and saturation in sound. Oh well, live and learn I suppose.
